The global biostimulants market size is expected to reach USD 6.86 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Biostimulants Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Active Ingredient (Acid Based, Seaweed Extract, Microbial, Others), By Crop Type, By Application, By Region – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The biostimulants industry revolves around products that, when applied to plants, seeds, or the soil, enhance natural physiological processes. These substances or microorganisms are distinct from organic fertilizers, as their primary function isn't to provide direct nutrients. Instead, they work to improve nutrient uptake and efficiency, increase tolerance to environmental stresses such as drought or heat, and enhance overall crop quality and yield. Essentially, biostimulants act as natural boosters, helping plants grow stronger, healthier, and more productive, leading to better resource use and reduced reliance on conventional chemical inputs.

The biostimulants market is experiencing significant growth, driven by a global shift toward more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. There is a rising awareness among farmers and consumers alike about the long-term benefits of improving soil health and fostering plant resilience, especially in the face of unpredictable climate patterns. This growing demand for organic food and high-quality produce further fuels the adoption of biostimulants. Companies in this space are constantly innovating, developing new formulations and application methods to cater to diverse crop types and regional agricultural challenges, which contributes to the dynamic development of the industry.
Biostimulants Market Report Highlights:
- By active ingredient, acid-based biostimulants, including humic, fulvic, and amino acids, held the largest share of the market in 2024. Their widespread use is attributed to their proven efficacy in enhancing plant nutrient uptake, improving soil structure, and boosting plant tolerance to various environmental stresses.
- By crop type, the row crops and cereals segment held the largest share of the biostimulants market in 2024, due to the enormous acreage dedicated to their cultivation globally. Even modest improvements in yield or stress tolerance per acre across these vast areas lead to substantial overall demand.
- By application, the foliar treatment segment held the largest share in 2024. This application method involves the direct spraying of biostimulant solutions onto plant leaves. It is highly effective due to the rapid absorption of active ingredients by the plant.
- By region, Europe led the global biostimulants market in 2024, driven by its strong regulatory framework that actively promotes sustainable agriculture and organic farming practices. The region's commitment to reducing chemical inputs and fostering environmentally friendly farming aligns perfectly with the benefits offered by biostimulants.
- A few key players in the market include UPL (UPL Limited), Syngenta Biologicals, Corteva Agriscience, BASF SE, Bayer AG, FMC Corporation, Novozymes (Novonesis Group), Koppert Biological Systems, Acadian Plant Health, Biolchim S.p.A., Atlántica Agrícola, and Seipasa S.A.
